Friday Fun...
Late Thursday night (technically Friday, hence the title of the post) was a night I waited for so long. Another one of those mad mad bloggers on MSN session, celebrating the revival of my phone line!. Referrin to previous posts, I did get a PTCL wireless last week, but the internet on that is really really slow, Unbelievably slow.
So Friday was a strike; and though I know many of the readers of this blog wont agree to my opinions expressed here today, Illl say it. The strike was just an attempt by some idiots desparate for some attention. The idiots themselves, a so-called religio-political gang, is itself guilty of tearing up copies of the Amendment to the Hudood Ordinance Bill and jumping upon it. Now the Hudood Ordinances themselves are formed by religious consensus of some sort and there were certain anomalies. It was only logical that when a bill in that regard is presented to the parliament, it would contain quotes from the highest sources of law in the universe. These idiots, tore it to pieces, jumped upon it, and the gall that they have, they arent even apologising!
Back to Friday, boring, very very boring, I finally watched Syriana with the concentration I wanted to, considering the extreme number of referrals I recieved. The DVD I had bought earlier had crappy audio quality and I never got around to having it exchanged for a better copy. This time I watched a copy I downloaded.
Also downloaded are: The Shawshank Redemption, Scary Movie 4 & Shes the man.
On the list are: Omkara, Poseidon, The Exorcism of Emily Rose...and if any of you have more recommendations, feel free to post as a comment.
Another observation: I sometimes see that some people need nothing to be impressed! Or, maybe its just a mental conditioning within them that makes people accept anything that comes from a certain quarter.
For the past week or so, Ive seen someone express an opinion about a music video, that was appraently released on Friday. Now, Ill just make things a bit clear, the opinion was not directed at me, nor has that person ever spoken to me about it, but its just like a personal statement infront of the name, like the personal message you can post on MSN or G-Talk.
The video in question was a track called "Dil Chahay" by Saahil (I've never heard of these guys earlier). I saw the video...and was left wondering what was so "un-fucking-believable" about it. No groundbreaking technique, no unique shots; in short, nothing special at all!
Then again, everyone has his/her right to an opinion, and this is mine. You, as a reader may or may not agree to it, which you are entitled to. Just dont bombard me with hate-mail.

I was in the office on Friday. Agree with you totally.
So you watching movies these days. Have you seen the re-make of Omen. If you do let me know if it is worth the time. Have you seen the "Italian Job" its a nice action flick.
I'll give you some more names right now I am drawing a blank.
P.S. How was Ex. of Emily Rose?
I watched "the illusionist"...it was alright...anyhow...will try to download that video ur talking abt...wanna see what the huge deal is abt...anyways laters.
All the parties in our land religious or not are the most fickle, self-centred egoitic bunch of crap touting, flst shaking louts hooligans that ever came into being... bloody shitheads! hope you got the point which is that i don't like 'em!
Am glad you had a fun friday... mine involved outdoor chores that ended with me being bitten by a wasp... OUCH!:(
@ checkmate: The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a good watch.. a little chilling but that's what you expect from a thriller/horror flickthat is reality based... As to Omen, I liked the original far far better but watch it for the production value!
watch american histtory x and v for vendetta if yoiu are in the syriana mood- i liked these better in the way they were made- mmuch more powerfiul somehow-
poseidon was a fun watch- LOVED pirates 2- this wekeend will watch kabhi alvida and mistress of spices- :)
watch cars,over the hedge, the wild
have you seen lord of war yet? excellent.
jammie, stay away from mistress of spices. not worth it.
Watched mistress of spices....the spices talk to her...I wish my food talked to me...
Inside Man.....sick movie!!!
Yeah...the idiots you talked about are just attention whores who don't have any regard for intellect or scholarship. These idiots are worse than, in my opinion, the war-hungry, missile-totting Western Right Wing (think: Bush) because they not only subscribe to their extremist beliefs but also have no respect for knowledge, education or civilisation. Stone age barbarians, if you ask me.
Checkmate is back!! yaaay!!!
Ive seen italian job....not the emily rose wali though....
@ No-one: is the illusionist recommended? do watch syriana, also watch the enron documentary if ur interested in learning about corporate greed!
@ Jaded: OUCH indeed!
@ Jammie: American history X was great! saw it ages ago....unbelievable movie! V for vandetta was ok ok...Pirates 2 was good too...was at the khi premiere! :D

hmm...so the fone line's back! no wonder i was given the 'or i will kill' u threat that day.
piracyyyyyyyyy!!! ur dl-ing movies! tsk! tsk! shame!!:P exorcism seemed good - i saw it in bits n pieces..i was actually going about my work when sis put it on - she wanted to watch it in someone's presence u see....

yeah I will recommend 'the illusionist'...its a bit slow...but it's worth a watch...i actually watched syriana...very interesting indeed...i actually have yet to see the Enron documentary...I want to see Crash...anyways have a great week...laters.
Nice to see downloading good films is truly a global effort.
